shown, described and claimed its object be-..

i11 to provide simple, economical culinary utensils each of which hasthe function of a heater or roaster.

Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings represents a vertical,longitudinal central section of a culinary utensil in accordance withour invention organized for roasting coffee, popping corn or otheroperation facilitated by the employment of a rotary holder for thematerial under treatment; Fig. 2, a transverse section of what is shownin Fig. 1, and Fig. 3, a plan view of the utensil having the majorportion of its hinged cover broken away and the rotary cylindrical shellthereof removed.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A indicates a rectangular panhaving an endless outer upper horizontal flange B, and upper horizontalflanges C extend inward from the sides of said pan flush with theflanges B aforesaid. At its ends the pan is provided with central upperlugs D that are notched to constitute bearings for the journal-ends ofthe spindle E of a cylindrical shell F hereinafter more particularlydescribed, one end of the spindle being suitably bent to form a crank Gon which a handle H is suitably secured.

The flange B of the pan is provided with side ears I and in pivotalconnection with the same are ears J of a semi-cylindrical cover K forsaid pan and its contents, the ends of the cover being suitably notchedto engage the ends of the spindle E when the rotary cylindrical shell Fis in working position. A handle L is provided on the pan-cover, and theflange B of the pan is provided with a thumbscrew M or other suitablefastening device for engagement with a lip N of said cover when thelatter is swung to close said pan.

-The cylindrical shell comprises heads fast on the spindle E andforaminous material,

wire netting or otherwise, fastened to said heads, one of these headsbeing provided with a suitable opening and a closure P for same. Howeveran opening may be provided in the foraminous portion of the shell, and aclosure for the same supplied in connection with said foraminous portionof said shell.

Green coffee beans or other material to be treated is poured in theshell aforesaid through the opening in same, the opening closed and saidshell arranged to have the spindle F thereof supported in the bearings Dfor same, after which the cover K is swung to close the pan. Thematerial in the shell is subjected to heat in the pan and said materialis agitated incidental to rotary motion of said shell. The shell turnsbetween the inner horizontal upper flanges C of the pan, and theseflanges deflect the heat that would otherwise ascend without passingthrough said shell.

The pan may be set on top of a stove or suspended, by its flange Bwithin the same, as most convenient or desirable in practice, andwithout the rotary shell aforesaid it constitutes a device in which toperform various culinary operations. The pan with its flanges, lugs andears may be a single casting or otherwise suitably constructed fromsuitable material.

We claim:

1. A culinary ute'n'sil comprising a pan provided with an endless outerupper horizontal flange, upper inner flanges, flush with the oneaforesaid, and notched lugs constituting bearings for the turningspindle of a cylindrical rotary roasting shell; and a semicylindricalcover in hinge-connection with the outer flange of the pan, said coverbeing provided with end notches for engagement with said spindle.
